I’m going to preface this by saying I truly don’t give a rat’s behind about my page performance. When I pulled up the dashboard it decided to proudly shove this in my face, probably because it was the most recent post, but *at least* 2 unfollows on a tattoo post?
I don’t know if y’all have realized, but I make it blatantly obvious I breed for SHOW purposes. You wanna know what’s required for a rabbit to show? Gasp! A TATTOO. In the left ear specifically. It’s also listed on every single pedigree ever, or I should say has to be present to qualify as a complete pedigree, and if you want your records to stay accurate the best way to ensure that is to tattoo every single animal before they leave your care so the ear number stays consistent. I’ve had people completely disregard my listed ear numbers if I didn’t get around to tattooing the animal before leaving, and they then proceed to tattoo the rabbit something entirely different. That’s a huge no-no. So now I do my best to have it done before they leave. It’s a quick, low drama thing that’s done in literally a minute or two. Using a tattoo pen anyways - my preferred method over the clamp, which they tend to freak out more over. I don’t own a clamp for that express reason.
It’s been 24 hours since that post has been up, so those who were offended by it have probably weeded themselves out by this point. So good riddance, and honestly, good on them for not throwing a fit on their way out the door. I highly appreciate that because I hate drama. Drama makers get the block button just as fast as I can see it.
